Anthony Kiedis was born in Michigan and Flea was born in Australia but as young men they both moved to the west coast and now represent California and Los Angeles to the fullest. Chad Smith was born in Saint Paul, Minnesota, John Frusciante (former member pictured below) was born in Queens, New York this making new guitarist Josh Klinghoffer the only member of the band actually born in Los Angeles, California.

I decided to compile a list of songs by the Red Hot Chili Peppers that mention “The Great State” of California or Los Angeles or Hollywood or something representing Southern California.

Around The World – “Try not to whine but I must warn you, about the motherfuckin’ girls from California“
